Kia's finally pricing something in the real world—a sub-$35K EV crossover with 278 miles of real range and 30-minute DC charging. V2G capability means it can feed power back to your home, which matters if you're actually living with one of these instead of just Instagram-ing it.

Kia's playing the volume game with the EV2, a supermini-sized electric crossover that slots below the EV6 and actually delivers real range numbers instead of marketing fiction. At sub-£25k with 278 miles claimed, it's the first time a mass-market EV in this class isn't asking you to pretend range anxiety doesn't exist. Renault and VW are watching this one closely.
